The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Ishq Mein

 

Since a few days now

Much more than before

I’ve started liking you

I don’t know what’s special

Dear about you that

I’ve started liking you

 

I had never before

Put my heart to a test in this way

In this way

Because never before

With any other person

Did love manifest in this way

 

In love

In love with you

What can I say to you my dear

In love with you

In love, in love

Yes head over heels through and through my dear

in love with you

In love, in love

Yes head over heels through and through my dear

In love with you

 

In love, in love

Yes head over heels through and through my dear

In love with you

In love, in love with you

In love, in love with you

High elation in love with you

In love, in love with you

In love, in love with you

Devastation in love with you

 

The day that you do not spend with me

The day that you do not spend with me

That day is not on my calendar

The talk that does not include you

To that talk I turn a deaf year

My passion had never

Before risen to a crest

In this way in this way

Because never before

With any other person

Did love manifest in this way

 

In love in love with you

What can I say to you my dear

In love with you

In love, in love

Yes head over heels through and through my dear

In love with you

In love, in love

Yes head over heels through and through my dear

In love with you

In love, in love with you

In love, in love with you

High elation in love with you

In love, in love with you

In love, in love with you

Devastation in love with you

Preoccupation in love with you

Transformation in love with you

Contemplation in love with you

Transformation in love with you

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Ishq Mein from Nadaaniyan

 

kuch dinon se mujhe
pehle se aur bhi
ache lagte ho tum

aisi tum mein sanam
jaane kya baat hai
ache lagte ho tum

 

maine dil ko kabhi
aazmaya hi na tha is tarah
is tarah

kyun-ki pehle mujhe
toh kisi pe bhi kabhi
pyar aaya na tha is tarah

 

ishq mein..
tere ishq mein
tujhe kya bataun yaara
tere ishq mein

ishq mein, ishq mein
haan main kis kadar fida hoon yaara

tere ishq mein

ishq mein, ishq mein
haan main kis kadar fida hoon yaara

tere ishq mein

ishq mein, ishq mein
haan main kis kadar fida hoon yaara

tere ishq mein

ishq mein tere ishq mein
ishq mein tere ishq mein
ek nasha hai tere ishq mein

ishq mein tere ishq mein
ishq mein tere ishq mein
sab fanna hai tere ishq mein

 

ho jis din mujhe tu na mile
ho jis din mujhe tu na mile
usko main din hi ginta nahi

hoti nahi jo tujhse judi
main baat hi woh sunta nahi

 

haan kisi ka nasha
sar chadhaya hi na tha
is tarah is tarah

kyunki pehle mujhe
toh kisi pe bhi kabhi
pyar aaya na tha is tarha

ishq mein tere ishq mein
tujhe kya bataun yaara

tere ishq mein

ishq mein, ishq mein
haan main kis kadar fida hoon yaara

tere ishq mein

ishq mein, ishq mein
haan main kis kadar fida hoon yaara

tere ishq mein

ishq mein tere ishq mein
ishq mein tere ishq mein
ek nasha hai tere ishq mein

ishq mein tere ishq mein
ishq mein tere ishq mein

sab fanna hai tere ishq mein

jabse pada mein tere ishq mein
main na raha main tere ishq mein
kuch toh hua hai tere ishq mein
main na raha main tere ishq mein

Translation of Barahmasa Song Tu Maike Mat Jaiyo from Pukar

 

Tu Maike Mat Jaiyo – Translation and Explanation Barahmasa

Meta Description: Barahmasa is a genre from Indian folk tradition. The best Bollywood example is Tu Maike Mat Jaiyo from Pukar. Learn what is Barahmasa and enjoy the translation.

Setting the Background for Translating Tu Maike Mat Jaiyo


What is Barahmasa?

Barahmasa, which literally translates to "twelve months," is a genre of song deeply rooted in the Indian folk tradition. Similar to the Kajari, it usually centres on a woman's longing for her absent lover or husband. However, unlike the Kajari, which is primarily associated with the rainy season, the Barahmasa chronicles the woman’s emotional journey through the changing months of the year. It weaves in the seasonal shifts, festivals, and the evolving landscapes of nature, providing a rich context for the woman’s sorrow and longing.

 

One of the earliest and most famous examples of the Barahmasa is found in the Awadhi epic Padmavat by Malik Muhammad Jayasi. In this tale, Ratan Sen, the ruler of Chittor, marries the beautiful Padmavati as his second wife. The first queen, Nagmati, mourns her circumstances through a poignant Barahmasa, capturing her emotional turmoil over the passing seasons. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Barahmasa was also depicted as series of miniature paintings, further illustrating its cultural significance.

 

Tu Maike Mat Jaiyo as a Barahmasa

 

The song Tu Maike Mat Jaiyo from Pukar (1983) is a recognizable example of a Barahmasa, as it incorporates the names of the twelve months throughout its verses. However, there are two notable departures from the traditional format. First, it is sung by a male voice, with the singer pleading with his lover not to leave him and return to her mother's home. In contrast to the typical Barahmasa, where the woman expresses her longing, this gender reversal creates an interesting twist in the cultural evolution of the Barahmasa. Secondly, in keeping with the time constraints of a Bollywood song, each verse combines two months, rather than the usual separate treatment of each month, thereby condensing the seasonal narrative.



The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Tu Maike Mat Jaiyo

 

Please do not go away, do not go my darling

Please do not go away, do not go my darling

Please do not go away

Ah Aa

Please do not go away, do not go my darling

Please do not go away

January, February in these two months the weather is shivering cold

Do you know that, do you know that

Do you know that you’re the only aha aha aha arey warm thing that I get to hold

Do not go away, do not go my darling, do not go away

 

Arey March April sways the spring with a new wave of creation

One look at your svelte figure and I give in to temptation

Do not go away, do not go my darling, do not go away

 

Arey May June are easily the most colourful months you can get

May June are easily the most colourful months you can get

When you wear a, when you wear a

July August the monsoon months when the falling rains hold sway

Oh, pitter patter pitter patter

In our locked room, in our locked room

Arey In our locked room we’ll spend the time without going out all day

Do not go away, do not go my darling, please do not go away

 

September and October months they are so full of love

Aaaa

Listen to me o beanpole, listen to me lover

Listen to me o my friend

Arey September and October months they are so full of love

To live alone, to live alone

To live alone in these two months that is not happening my dove

Please do not go away, do not go my darling, do not go away

 

Oh November and December, they’re the best to be found

Oh November and December, they’re the best to be found

The truth is this, my crazy one, the truth is this

Arey The truth is this my crazy one I want you all year round

Do not go away, do not go my darling, do not go away

Do not go my darling, please do not go away

Please do not go away, do not go my darling, do not go away

 

The song is in the voice of Amitabh Bachchan, except for the lines in italics that are sung by Rahul Dev Burman.

Karaoke Translation of Taaka Taaki New 2025 Bollywood Song

 

Taaka Taaki – Translation of Sunidhi Chauhan Latest Hit Song

Meta Description:  Taaka Taaki is a peppy Sunidhi Chauhan song from upcoming Bollywood rom-com Pintu Ki Pappi. Enjoy the karaoke translation set to the original music score.

Setting the Background for Translating Taaka Taaki

 

Pintu Ki Pappi is an upcoming Bollywood romantic comedy, set for release on March 21, 2005, featuring a fresh cast of newcomers in the lead roles. In many Hindi film songs of this genre, it is typically the male protagonist who serenades his love interest, requesting romantic trysts. However, Taaka Taaki, a playful phrase that means to sneak a peek, flips this tradition on its head. In this catchy number, the female lead encourages her love interest to cast aside his shyness, teasingly warning him that if he doesn't make a move, she’ll start looking for attention elsewhere.



The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Taaka Taaki

 

Secrets that are in your heart come share them with me

There’s nothing to be gained by peeping quietly

You can be frank with me there’s no one around

You won’t get into trouble we won’t make a sound

Cosying up and kissing say when will you seek

Will you do anything else or only sneak a peek

Will you do anything else or only sneak a peek

Will you do anything else or only sneak a peek

Anything else or

 

In the shivering winter I am just like a heater

Let me see how hot are you I am a thermometer

I am in my senses totally without faze

Why do I feel awkwardness when I’m under your gaze

You want to make me yours you must do this I swear

Take me to America and let us settle there

Take me to America and let us settle there

In order to swim you must dive into the deep creek

Anything else

Will you do anything else or only sneak a peek

Will you do anything else or only sneak a peek

Anything else or or

 

This is a God given chance enjoy it completely

I am ready and willing come and propose to me

If you’re in love with me give me a thumbs up sign

Fill up your pen with ink write a romantic line

If you are hesitant then I will return from midway

I am a free butterfly in a trice I’ll flee away

I am a free butterfly in a trice phurrr

Tell me when you will stop being afraid and meek

Will you do anything else or only

Will you do anything else or only sneak a peek

Will you do anything else or only

Will you do anything else or only

Will you do anything else or only

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Taaka Taaki from Pintu Ki Pappi

 

dil mein jo bhi hai tere aake tu baat kar

kya paayega be sabru ki tarah taak kar

khol de dil ki khidki dekh le jhaank ke

sankat na aaye koi papa ki naak pe

kaho kaam kab saare baaki karoge

kuch karoge ya khaali taaka taaki karoge

kuch karoge ya khaali taaka taaki karoge

kuch karoge ya khaali taaka taaki karoge

kuch karoge ya

 

sardi ke mausam mein heater ke jaisi hoon main

temperature naapu aaja thermometer si hoon main

khud ka khayal mujhko na koi bekhudi

teri nazron se phir kyun hoti hai gudgudi

mujhko patane ka bas ek tareeka

settle kara de baby le ja america

settle karva de baby le ja america

bin paani kaise tum tairaki karoge

kuch karoge

kuch karoge ya khaali taaka taaki karoge

kuch karoge ya khaali taaka taaki karoge

kuch karoge ya ya

 

mauka hai mauke pe chahe to mauj kar le

main to hun ready kab se aake propose kar le

dil mein kuchh pink hai to uska tu sign de de

bottle me ink hai to mujhko tu line de de

manzil na dikh payi to raste se mud jaungi

awara titali hun main bin soche ud jaungi

awara titali hun main bin soche phurrrr

bako kuchh ki kab tum bebaki karoge

kuch karoge ya khaali taaka taaki

kuch karoge ya khaali taaka taaki karoge

kuch karoge ya khaali taaka taaki

kuch karoge ya khaali taaka taaki

kuch karoge ya khaali taaka taaki

Open the window of your heart and look what’s outside

There will not be any blemish on your father’s honour

Say, when will you do everything else

You want to do something or only sneak a peak

 

In the winter season I am like a heater

Come I’ll measure your temperature, I am like a thermometer

I am aware of myself and am unfazed

So why do I feel ticklish when you gaze at me

There is only one way to win me

Take me to America and settle there

How will you swim if you do not enter the water

 

You have a chance, enjoy the chance fully

I am ready since long come propose to me

If your heart is happy then give me a sign

If there is ink in your bottle then give me a line

If I don’t see the destination I will return midway

I am a carefree butterfly I will fly away without a thought

Say something when you will act fearlessly

Arijit Singh Satranga from Animal Translated and Explained

 

Satranga – Poetic Translation of 2024 Arijit Singh Hit Song

Meta Description:  Satranga is a hit Bollywood song of 2024. Sung by Arijit Singh and shot on Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. Enjoy the poetic translation and explanation.

Setting the Background for Translating Satranga

Satranga, which translates to "having seven colours," is often used as a metaphor for the rainbow. In the song Satranga from the Bollywood movie Animal, love is depicted as a multi-dimensional emotion, much like a rainbow's varying hues. Initially, the relationship is marked by a positive, caring camaraderie. However, as the story unfolds, emotions like jealousy, suspicion, and selfishness creep in, leading to heartbreak. Despite these challenges, the song also highlights how true love endures beneath the surface, even in difficult times.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Satranga

 

When half of your love and half of mine

Combine then forms the moon complete

Only your star and my star will shine

Rest will be as black as peat

 

The threads have not survived

That to the Pipal tree we tied

Kohled tears flow down the face

Averted from the lover’s gaze

Like a rainbow in the grey sky love glows

I a fakir and like Ganga love flows

Like a rainbow in the grey sky love glows

I a fakir and like Ganga love flows

 

I will convey my blessings

After touching your feet

Your wounds I will gladly bear

And your worries defeat

 

You carry on

I won’t sulk or yell

If I’m not yours

I won’t be mine as well

Only you dear are my world

But do not come where I dwell

Never I’ll be seen on your street

 

Recall our wedding vow

The fire is burning us now

The false promises you made

Have left me feeling quite betrayed

Flowing in the veins not a care love knows

Dissolved in blood through the body love goes

Like a rainbow in the grey sky love glows

I a fakir and like Ganga love flows

 

All my golden memories

Flush them down in waters deep

Your tearful moistened eyes these

Pressed against my lips I will keep

I ocean bound on it like a bird love soars

Mind sadness still and vibrancy love shows

Like a rainbow in the grey sky love glows

I a fakir and like Ganga love flows

Like a rainbow in the grey sky love glows

I a fakir and like Ganga love flows

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Satranga from Animal

 

aadha tera ishq aadha mera
aise ho poora chandrama
ho taara tera ik taara mera

baaki andhera aasmaan

 

na tere sang laage
baandhe jo pipal pe dhaage
yeh surme ke dhaare
behte hai nazrein bacha ke

badrang mein satranga hai yeh ishq re
jogi main aur ganga hai yeh ishq re
badrang mein satranga hai yeh ishq re
jogi main aur ganga hai yeh ishq re

 

maathe se laga loon haath
chhu ke main pair tere
ho rakh loon main tan pe zakhm
bana saare bair tere

 

rukna ni tu
hunn russna ni main
tera ni reha
te na khud da vi main

duniya tu hi hai meri
par na aana ab na aana
main ni aana shehar tere

 

jo phere sang laage
rakhte woh humko jala ke
woh vaade jhoothe vaade
le ja tu kasmein lagaa ke

rag rag mein malanga hai yeh ishq re
kyun lahu mein hi ranga hai yeh ishq re
ho badrang mein satranga hai yeh ishq re
jogi main aur ganga hai yeh ishq re

 

tu meri saari yaadein
paani mein aaj baha de

yeh teri bheegi aankhein
rakh loon labon se laga ke

main samandar parinda hai yeh ishq re
mann maatam aur zinda hai yeh ishq re
ho badrang mein satranga hai yeh ishq re
jogi main aur ganga hai yeh ishq re

ho ho.. badrang mein satranga hai yeh ishq re
jogi main aur ganga hai yeh ishq re

The Literal English Translation of the Lyrics of Satranga

 

half from your love half from mine

this is how the full moon is made

only your one star and my one star

the rest of the sky should be in darkness

 

 

our companionship has not survived

even though we tied the threads around the pipal tree

these streams of tears black with kohl

you are shedding hiding from me

 

even in this drab situation our love stands out like a rainbow

love is the feeling aroused in a fakir by the eternally flowing Ganga

 

i will place my hand on your forehead to bless you

i will touch your feet to receive your blessings

i will bear your wounds on my body

making them your enemy

 

you do not stop

i will not sulk

if i am not yours

then i will not be mine

you alone are my world

but now do not come to me

i will not come to your city

 

the circumambulations we took around the fire

they are keeping us burning

the vows taken then proved false

you can leave with them

 

love flows through our veins without a care

it has dissolved in our blood

 

take all my memories

sweep them away in the water

yet your moist eyes

i will keep pressed to my lips

 

i am like the ocean over which love soars like a free bird

my mind wallows in grief while love is vibrant
